Web design & development process

We generally approach our website design & developments in a few key phases:

Website brief - We meet with the decision makers of your business to discuss the requirements for your website in more detail i.e. vision, strategies, goals and objectives; target market; required look and feel; calls to action; rough out navigation/site map, overall layout.

Design proof - we create a website design in line with your branding and supply it to you for approval.

Content - We source and/or upload the content for the website i.e. the images and words

Testing & Tweaking - We ensure the site is good to go with full testing and quality checks on different browsers to ensure compliance and functionality

Training & Handover - We arrange a one-on-one training and handover session to show you the ropes of your new website!

How long does it take to build a website?

Whilst we can provide rough guidelines on how long a site will take to build based on previous experience, the client will generally dictate the speed at which a website is built, depending on how long they take to provide approvals for different stages of the development, and also how long the content takes to collate and supply (which the client generally sources and writes, unless we are contracted otherwise).The duration of any given website design and development project will also dependent on the size of the project i.e. it's level of customisation and complexity, and also our current production schedule. But be assured that if you have a deadline to make, we can make it happen!

"I'd like to say thank you again for the great work your team did in creating our new website.TCC came to the rescue when we needed our old website updated urgently after a business name change & to include eCommerce. Not only did they attend to the briefing, but they gave the whole website a complete fresh overhaul. We love it! The team were professional, understanding of our needs & worked fast. And it was all done in ONE DAY. Thank you TCC!"

"Caravan & RV World assigned The Creative Collective of Newcastle to design and manage our e-commerce website that sells spare parts and accessories to caravan and motorhome owners around Australia. Aside from the excellent website they have produced they have also designed a Google Adword and SEO campaign to go with it. This campaign has worked wonders for our business. Our website traffic has increased, sales have increased and we are seeing increasing numbers of repeat customers.
Katrina Lees and Alastair Loxton have always answered my questions promptly and have reported statistics and results on time without fail. Thankyou to the team at The Creative Collective Newcastle for doing an excellent job in getting my business flying online and helping us to become Australia’s fastest growing online caravan and motorhome spare parts and accessories business. "

Caravan and RV World, Aaron O'Brien, Director

"Our new website is everything we imagined and more...!!! You guys are so awesome to work with....nothing is too much trouble...!! Being in business for many years, I know this is becoming increasingly rarer. It's such a breath of fresh air dealing with the team at The
Creative Collective...!!! The entire time I worked with TCC on creating our new site we were
travelling the globe for work and yet it was never an issue...Glenn and the team were always happy to work around me and my crazy schedule.
The level of professionalism and timely delivery on projects was second to none and not only that, they understood exactly what I wanted and captured the essence of our brand exactly, not an easy task in our extremely image conscious market.
Don't worry, I'll be spreading the word about you guys...!!"

"Our website has over 1700 products and is one of the largest online card shops in Australia. We are constantly receiving positive feedback from our industry and web designers on the functionality & design of our website. Without The Creative Collective I doubt that we would have been able to achieve our vision."

Hayley Whitfield, JoyBells

I can see exciting possibilities for my business that I would never have explored before so thanks heaps Creative Collective."

"Yvette and Kat are the most energetic, vibrant and trend-setting team I have ever encountered. Always cheerful, smiling, superbly intelligent and on-the-ball they make the graphic design process a wonderful and happy adventure of discovery. What's more I feel "safe" in their capable hands as beyond their obvious talents they work to the highest standards of ethics and integrity which can be a rare commodity in today's commercial world. I retained the Creative Collective on the basis of my initial impression of Yvette herself and as such my expectations were set "very high" - I was not disappointed - my expectations were met "admirably".by both Yvette and Katrina. What more can I say - they are the best! "

Marie Walton, ArtinU

"Every question was explained clearly in a manner that anyone tech illiterate could understand. Creative Collection also made noteable suggestions for improvements throughout every step. We were very happy with the customer service offered and with our new very professional looking web site!"

Michelle Denton, Denton Engineering

"I have worked with Yvette as the practice manager of two busy medical practices over a period of three years. Yvette has been extremely respectful and understanding of the unique and highly regulated industry we operate within and has opened our eyes to many innovative strategies available to businesses, including ours. As crazy as at it sounds, it is still not even uncommon for medical practices to even have a website and many do not see the need to market, or only stick to very traditional marketing strategies such as advertising and flyer drops.
Yvette has assisted our practice to become a real pioneer in our industry by introducing various functionalities which have successfully assisted us to grow our patient list, and to service our existing patient list more effectively.
We now have the ability for new patients to register at our practice online and our existing patients to book appointments online a quick, discreet and easy way for our patients to communicate with us. She has also assisted to develop our brand including expansions within the company, to win business awards by encouraging us to enter relevant awards and assisting us in the application process, developing hugely successful community initiatives and fundraising drives and secure a significant of media coverage and much more! We are so confident in Yvette's abilities we have recommended her to many of our colleagues."

Nicky Jardine, Practice Manager, Medicine on Second
